Imported Machine Tool Impacts China's CNC Machine Tool Industry Development

Due to the large number of imported machine tools entering the domestic market, it will have a greater impact on China's development of CNC machine tool industry. In particular, the import unit prices of some large and heavy-duty machine tools, such as gantry milling, gantry machining centers, milling and boring machines, vertical lathes, and numerical control gear processing machine tools, have decreased, which has caused more severe competition in the market of large-scale and heavy machine tools where market demand has begun to decline. According to the Chinese machine tool network machine35, from the analysis of the first half of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, the output of gold-cutting machine tools in the first half of the year increased by 23.7% over the same period of last year (among which the output of CNC machine tools increased by 45% year-on-year), and the growth rate of output value reached 30.4% year-on-year. The structure seems to have grown in the right direction.

Assuming that the growth rate of output value is greater than the output growth rate by 6.7 percentage points, and the rate of production of the NC increases substantially, the average unit price of the product has only increased from RMB 169,200/unit in the first half of last year to RMB 169,500/unit in the same period of this year. The year-on-year increase was less than 0.2%. For the market expectation in the second half of 2012, a common view is that as the growth of major service areas in the machine tool industry such as automobiles slows down, the result will be to slow down the next step in investment and progress, which will inevitably affect its demand for machine tools. In addition, because the country has strictly controlled the scale of credit, it is inevitable that some companies will have obvious tight liquidity.

This situation is rather like the feeling in the second half of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. That time, Mr. Lang worked for the Chinese manufacturing industry, said the sentence: currently only autumn, winter yet to come true. It was only then that the Chinese machine tool manufacturing industry immediately entered hot summer directly from fall. Companies that did not prepare for cold clothing were still fortunate. However, the reporter believes that history cannot be completely duplicated. At present, the U.S. economic growth is once again in crisis. The winter of manufacturing in China may not have arrived yet, but the next step will be the gradual rise of the autumn wind and an increase in coolness.
